The days of just a spirit and mixer on board a flight could soon be over.

New carry on cocktail-making are kits giving passengers the chance to flex their mixology skills while at 30,000 feet.

One simple take-on tin contains a mini bottle of aromatic bitters, cane sugar, spoon-come- muddle and a linen coaster, allowing passengers to mix the perfect Old Fashioned, a whiskey based snifter made famous by Mad Men's Don Draper.

The Travel Cocktail Kit comes with nine empty bottles, a mixing spoon, and a detailed book containing instructions, as well as 15 different cocktail recipes

The kit is the brain child of Brooklyn-based cocktail website Punch and the product designers at W&P Design.

For something more swish, designer Stephen Kenn has created a plush leather pouch that comes with everything passengers need to blend a selection of quality tipples.

Bloody Mary: Bring a packet of pepper, a mini bottle of hot sauce (and some celery if you want to push the boat out). Order a vodka and tomato juice with ice.

Old Fashioned: Bring a mini bottle of non-alcoholic bitters, a sugar packet, and an orange . Order a whiskey with ice, and ask for a knife to slice the fruit.

Juan Collins: Try this classic cocktail with a Mexican twist. Bring a lemon and a lime and a packet of sugar. Order a Tequila and a club soda.

Squeeze lemon into a cup of ice, sprinkle with half a pack of sugar, and mix in the tequila. Garnish with a lime.

Negroni: Bring an orange slice. Order a Campari, a gin, a cup of ice, and a cranberry, grapefruit, or orange juice.
